Retrofit Existing Buildings
Retrofitting is a process of placing new panels over your existing roof or wall panels, eliminating the cost and effort of removing them. While most metal building contractors do not offer this service, MidMass is proud to offer this cost saving option to our customers.
How Does Retrofitting Work?

Featured Retrofitting Projects
Full Circle Recycling, Johnston RI
Here is the MidMass Crew installing a “RETRO-R” panel system for Full Circle Recycling in Johnston RI.
The RETRO-R panels are designed to be installed directly over your existing metal roof. The advantages of this are not having the added cost of tearing off your old roof, there is no disturbance to your business operations and is a much more safe operation than tear offs.
A total of 3 building were retrofitting for this customer.
Building #1
Building #2
Worcester County Jail, West Boylston MA
On this project our crew installed a “Double Lok” standing seam metal roof system over an existing corrugated metal roof.
We were also able to add skylights and added layer of insulation.
By installing the new roof directly over the old roof it prevented having to tear off the old roof and disturb operations below and prevented the added cost of tearing off the old roof.
25,000 sq ft Building, Falmouth, MA
On this project in Falmouth MA, Midmass stripped the existing walls and roof of this 25,000 sq. ft building.
The old roof was a corrugated metal roof with a rubber roof system over it.
After the skin was off the building the steel structure was cleaned and painted. Midmass then installed all new walls and new roof system including The “ENERGY SAVER” R-38 fabric insulation system.
